The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

Neil Breen is an American filmmaker and actor. Since 2005, he has made seven feature films in which he acts as director, writer, producer and lead star, while being in charge of most other key crew positions. He usually finances his films himself independently from his earnings as a professional architect, using amateur casts and crews. Breen's works have garnered a cult following as "so bad it's good" films, often being singled out for their poor acting (notably from Breen), bizarre story and dialogue, offbeat editing and low-budget production values; his stories are typically psychological thrillers or science fiction with strong social commentary depicting lonely, tragic heroes in grandiose struggles against corrupt institutions. He has been compared to Tommy Wiseau. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
